"Kao" and "Su" (Chaos)

This work was created utilizing Warlon Sheet, an imitation Japanese paper composed of acrylic.

He pondered questions, 'What would a bamboo artisan from the past create if they were to craft with the same sense of beauty in a world devoid of bamboo?' 'How do craftsmans with a similar aesthetic sensibility would adapt to a world without bamboo?' 'Could we instill a sense of 'wa' (harmony) into a material distinct from traditional ones?'
He deemed warlon as a fitting material for tackling these challenges.
